My reaction was "oh." ...but you have to admit, that actuation point adjuster is cool. Personally, I will have to stick with Cherry MX myself, got a G710+ Brown on clearance for $50, I prefer blue, but at that price, I can settle for Brown!
Its funny you say that! because i have so many friends using it! to me, i usually give to recomendations , if you want to get in to mechanical keyboards on budget, tomoko 84 OR Redragon K552 KUMARA is a way to go, if you have cash to spend, Corsair k70 is a way to go.
These are factory keycaps and they are not PBT, they are doubleshot ABS. But these Topre hybrid electrostatic capasitive switches are not standard Topre switches, they made them Cherry MX compatible and these are great news, because you can install almost any PBT caps if you want.
PurgeX Wrist rests lower the angle of your wrists when typing and also helps keep them in one place so you dont move them all over the keyboard and mess up your typing pattern. Also at this price, they should have included a wrist rest.
Rasyid Harun sorry im not a keyboard pro like you lol, but if someone came to your house and saw this next to a razer a corsair they are obv gonna think the razer/corsair looks cooler.
Yeah I noticed this, and honestly it's killing me. Trying to decide if I want to purchase one or not. I know that the board works with cherry mx keycaps... but if I were to change them out that might screw over some of the topre feel, and also this keyboard is 108 key rather than 104 so... most keysets don't work.
You will not screw up the feel. The main attraction of this keyboard is the superb implantation of Cherry MX stems that allow you to use a wider range of keycap sets when compared to most other Topre keyboards, However do keep in mind that nearly every other Topre keyboard, barring the discontinued Novatouch and the cheap Type Heaven, they all ship with great PBT dye subbed keycaps. From what I heard, it does feel a little bit different to regular Topre stems, but it's still pretty good and you may even prefer the way it feels. I know for a fact that I never want to use Cherry MX (and clones) keyboards ever again so if I ever want to have a keyboard I can truly make my own, the Realforce RGB might just be the solution.
Posted this twice 7 hours and 30 min ago but not exact words, maybe you wont see it already Tech TH-camr's are boring but if I watch your videos I'm getting interested cause you have good keyboard reviews I have a membrane keyboard that's why I want it, Any mechanical keyboard will do but it's best when you give me that keyboard LOL, The difference between you and other TH-camrs is that other TH-camrs talk fast and speaking unnecessary things you speak gently and you have good quality videos you don't mess up with your words and I think you will be popular 1 day and I hope to see you play video games, you will earn more subscribers, God bless bro hope you get more subs!!!! But if you don't give me anything it's ok just give me a shout out at least and I still watching your videos even I don't get anything or a shout out. :)
Topre keyboards are always really expensive, and this is the first RGB edition of any Capacitive keyboard. It's expensive, but for different reasons than other keyboards
an aluminum top deck is bull shit tho. all and any mechanical keyboards SHOULD (or else they are like 10 dollar mechs lol.) have metal in a sheet under the keys to hold them up and some other things that i dont really know. Corsair first took advantage of this, removed the plastic and BADABOOM, looks stylish, types the same. i would like a wrist rest tho.
In the end a Ferrari will do what a Honda will do. In the end a private jet will do what economy seating will do. In the end a $5000 PC will do what a $50 laptop will do. Yes, the keyboard does what a $10 keyboard does, but looks and feels much better.
+Cheat Code Not quite... The Cooler Master Pro L uses Cherry MX switches. You cannot change the actuation point in Cherry switcher, however you can with Topre switches which are in this keyboard. The design and LEDs do look similar between the two keyboard though. Thanks for watching our videos!
This Keyboard literally has nothing good about it, exept if you like topre switches. It has an all plastic body, not a braided usb cable, you're just overshadowing all of this by liking the switches but other than that its really only a mediocre keyboard especially at 270 Bucks
MS Tech, Can I please have this Keyboard... I really want this keyboard because I am currently using a really old keyboard for my setup and this would be great because my old one broke recently and I used to use it for all my school work. I have been subscribed and watching for a really long time now and I dont have enough money to buy one of these. Thanks HAppy newyear
Jessie Hydro Torpe is much better than Cherry, and u get Thick PBT keycaps, which cost about 50$ plus u can change the actuation point (Sry if my Eng is bad :
I suggest getting a Corsair K70 or K95 with rapidfire switches, they arent as nearly as loud as a Chroma and still give you that nice feel, with a much higher actuation point for gaming.
Topre, once you go to that switch you can never go back. Probably not this KB though, it's overpriced. People berate Type Heaven KBs for shitty reasons though. Sound on it isn't merely as good as a Realforce or HHKB but they all feel nearly the same.
If you want a cheap Topre that has feels but not the best sound and quality, a Topre Type Heaven would be just fine. www.amazon.com/dp/B00DGJALYW/?tag=xahh-20 However, if you don't really have a money limit, pretty any HHKB Topre or Realforce Topre keyboard would be better than Type Heaven.
I'm looking for the best Topre keyboard. I love the feel of the blue switches but I hate the sound. Currently using a blackwidow and I'm having that issue.
"You'll pass getting a $250 keyboard?" Yea. Sorry, I don't obsess over prices, and rather over the performance of things. I just don't like Topre switches, so I'ld just be wasting my mony for something I don't like. "You come off as a really bitchy person." And you come off as a annoying twat but that doesn't really matter :D
How does this compare to iron spring or even general optical switches? I'm looking at the wooting one or zowie to make a more media key friendly optical board. I want pbt keycaps and clicky type writer feel and but also all the features like macros, media keys and fast switches. Right now I'm running the Anne pro and Logitech Orion. Wish I could feel the wooting or a topre personally to make a decision. Pbt is something I miss since I have the Anne in a desk till I'm writing research papers. My daily is the Logitech. I don't personally like the asthetic of any gaming keybaord. They plain and simple look like blatant rip offs to me. I didn't pay, I got it for free but still, I still feel the disrespect haha
And shit is stupid, the price is horrendous. Anything but Razer, logitech romer g, and cherry speeds aren't even supposed to be in the specific gaming keys....yet you still get those
Hi dude, im currently using the combo devastator, but i dont like the keyboard that much, hopefully ill get that keyboard because I think its easier to use..
how about the Aukey rgb mechanical keyboard? It's 70 bucks, nice rgb lighting with multiple settings but no macros, or media buttons, (fn + f5, f6 f7 and f8)
I got a pretty good gaming computer a little over a year ago and have slowly gotten some accessories to go along with it such as a gaming mouse and good headphones. However, the one thing I have not been able to get is a gaming keyboard. I am unemployed and not sure how I'll pay rent this month but a gaming keyboard would be a great pick-me-up. Thanks for the awesome HQ vids!!
If you want full solid aluminium keycaps then you will be paying a small fortune. I think RAMA Works sells full CNC aluminium keycaps. I think it costs $36/cap So some keycaps for a full keyboard would be somewhere around 3.7 thousand dollars for keycaps. You can always buy those zinc plated keycaps for like $30 bucks on Amazon but I heard the plating wears off after a few weeks of use.
thanks for the info. Apparently, Rama works likes to rip people off because aluminum shouldn't nearly cost this much. I worked as a CNC operator a while ago and parts that are 5 times the size of 1 of these caps, and had way more intricate cuts cost like $ 5 - 15 a pop. The price tag is ridiculous. It would take like 5 - 10 minutes to create a full set on a CNC. the only process that would take a bit of time is the anodizing.
It's not that hard to rip off the consumer when you are the one of the only companies to sell metal keycaps. But how much would it cost to get something like their keycaps? CNC aluminium, then anodize it? But I guess it costs a little more due to labour costs and it's an actual company so they have to profit off these keycaps.
The company is a 1 man team lol. I found another company, a little bit less expensive HolyOOPS. tinyurl.com/oulyl4k --- they have way more intricate designs, but the plain ones cost is reasonable as only a few makers make them.
"surpassing a magnetic force" .... wow, that was pretty over the top. Topre feel pretty much like a very refined high end rubber dome. (typing this on my HHKB Pro 2 btw).
I don't understand the hype about topre. The spring is only there to register the click and provides almost no resistance. It's a rubber dome over dome over pcb instead of membrane. Is it not just a rubber dome keyboard that is less mushy and lighter to press?
So how it works is that you have your normal keycap and stem. The stem goes down and presses on the rubber dome and the spring. The spring registers the key press, and the spring and the rubber dome help bounce the key back up. And what you get is a super smooth key press, and a switch that technically should never fail, since there are no mechanical parts and nothing needs to make contact for it to register a key press.
Matt, you should consider looking into reviewing other Topre boards, as from what I have heard from other keyboard enthusiasts, this isn't even close to being the best Topre board. The Realforce 87 has no LEDs, but apparently feels better.
$259 Holy fuck, better go sell my kidney.
250$ is the same price as a 144hz monitor
Vikhyatuh Challat A shit 1 tho
Lauri313 a decent one dont a shit one
Vikhyatuh Challat A fucking bullshit 1. Not a single 144hz monitor has good colors with that price.
Vikhyatuh Challat U gotta use close 2
lol i fell off my fucking chair as soon as the amazon page loaded and showed me the price of 250 dollars...
hahaha
My reaction was "oh." ...but you have to admit, that actuation point adjuster is cool. Personally, I will have to stick with Cherry MX myself, got a G710+ Brown on clearance for $50, I prefer blue, but at that price, I can settle for Brown!
the don't sell them anymore tho at least in the US
Now it’s like 100 or 120 dollars
If tomatoes are fruit is ketchup a smoothie
its a non sweet smoothie i can say that
that costs more than my pc
lol
AcemanAvila You have a really cheap pc
AcemanAvila haha i feel ya. 270 dollar is retarded and ill rather stick that money in a upgrade then on a keyboard
Piece of Crap?
"Now it comes in at $270..."
**stops vid**
Amir Ramond Blumoire a keyboard is a keyboard.....
a bored is a bored... I'm bored.
Right!? I got a Corsair Strafe RGB and absolutely love it for $150. He could have gotten the k95 Platinum with about $70 left over. lol
HelloCompanion yep xD
TheCrampz oh wow! I got the reds because I prefer them, but I didn't realize they came in blues.
Me: Damn, looks SWEET
*Checks price*
Me: Looks like I gotta work overtime
TBVG I agree, only I immediately thought of how I could get the money
Derpysnipes's WoT yeah lol
yep same! But it look amazing!!
bob leroux I KNOW RIGHT!?
I do wonder sometimes HOW MANY are there "BEST KEYBOARDS" out there!
this is my 7th giveaway and never win... wanna win this
BuzzKil1 All who dont have so much money buy Trust GXT 830 its really cool
Its funny you say that! because i have so many friends using it! to me, i usually give to recomendations , if you want to get in to mechanical keyboards on budget, tomoko 84 OR Redragon K552 KUMARA is a way to go, if you have cash to spend, Corsair k70 is a way to go.
BuzzKil1 i might win this
I wonder how manny keyboard videos he has done?
These are factory keycaps and they are not PBT, they are doubleshot ABS. But these Topre hybrid electrostatic capasitive switches are not standard Topre switches, they made them Cherry MX compatible and these are great news, because you can install almost any PBT caps if you want.
Really hard to find pbt caps compatible with backlit though
Vortex
This is the information that should be in a review. Thank you!
Also, Corsair makes a set that look like they might be nice.
@@PantsLJones but corsair pbt key caps are terrible
no lie, at first glance...
i thought it was a Razer Keyboard
ApeGorrilaz yeah me to
I also thought that xD
I thought it was a coolermaster pro L.. identical on top!
yeah same
Hi, you said they were PBT keys, but other places it says they are ABS
$300 USD, of course it's gonna be one of the best keyboards around
20 dollar shipping?! Pssh I'll pass
GODDAMN that thing better write my 15 page essays by itself
Nice review! What about the lighting, how is it controlled, via software like with Corsair or like with the Ducky Shine?
My problems:
It's made of plastic
No wrisrest
PurgeX
Wrist rests lower the angle of your wrists when typing and also helps keep them in one place so you dont move them all over the keyboard and mess up your typing pattern. Also at this price, they should have included a wrist rest.
Wrist rests are dirt cheap, only the housing is plastic it has a thick steel mounting plate underneath.
It has very solid plastic though
The winner is... 12aarroonn! Congrats to him! To everybody else, good luck next time ;)
MS Tech wtf I wanted my keyboard bruh
MS Tech I guess ill have to live with a simple plastic Fujitsu keyboard. 😔
same ;((
what if he doesn't reply
When will you do another give away.
this looks like a $30-$50 keyboard lol
Grvty ikr
Grvty same
Yeah that plastic bezel looks ugly af
so which keyboard has a look of "$200" keyboard, lol you probably don't know anything about mech key, especially topre.
Rasyid Harun sorry im not a keyboard pro like you lol, but if someone came to your house and saw this next to a razer a corsair they are obv gonna think the razer/corsair looks cooler.
What about colours ?
Can be only one colour ? Or left side one colour, right side second color ?
My keyboard lights up the letters so you can see them at night. It also feels AMAZING! (its also cheaper)
)
ok
Matt, this keyboard does not feature PBT keycaps. Instead, they used doubleshot ABS plastic.
Yeah I noticed this, and honestly it's killing me. Trying to decide if I want to purchase one or not. I know that the board works with cherry mx keycaps... but if I were to change them out that might screw over some of the topre feel, and also this keyboard is 108 key rather than 104 so... most keysets don't work.

As a member of the MK subreddit the comments did not only give me cancer, but they gave me ebola too.
everyone who comes from /r/mk is in intense pain reading the comments :'D
Would you mind telling me what your profile pic is? I see it a lot and I was wondering how to find similar profile pics like that
Google ''facets by Justin Maller''. You can find all of them, including the one on my profile pic, on his website.
I'm glad your comment was so far up, so I don't have to come up with a comment that explains how I feel after reading the other comments myself.
Thanks!

hopefully not a mechanical keyboard because i want that sauce
...annnd a llaaaaarrrggee sode
Soda*
For 270$ I would (personally) expect an aluminum top deck and braided wire and the option of a wrist rest. But hey; you cant have it all.
Donavan Chapman for 270$ keyboard,you should have it all.
actually if we are talking US dollar than for sure; my bad.
Topre keyboards are always really expensive, and this is the first RGB edition of any Capacitive keyboard. It's expensive, but for different reasons than other keyboards
an aluminum top deck is bull shit tho. all and any mechanical keyboards SHOULD (or else they are like 10 dollar mechs lol.) have metal in a sheet under the keys to hold them up and some other things that i dont really know. Corsair first took advantage of this, removed the plastic and BADABOOM, looks stylish, types the same. i would like a wrist rest tho.
I just think an alloy top deck is really good looking; better than molded plastic.
Creative Comment with light humour
Na ni?
PCXBGamer ni na? that means and u in Chinese XD. just thought of that
Thanks for the review man. Just bought mine a few minutes ago after watching this and looking at some other reviews. Excited to test this thing out.
In the end it will do what a $10 keyboard will do
In the end a Ferrari will do what a Honda will do. In the end a private jet will do what economy seating will do. In the end a $5000 PC will do what a $50 laptop will do. Yes, the keyboard does what a $10 keyboard does, but looks and feels much better.
MS Tech is it all done i did all u asked, do i just wait till it comes at my house ?
12aarroonn did it arrive?
Not paying that much for plastic.. Don't care if its Topre/RGB.
POPOPOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
HHAHAHAHA..... so you're saying its a luxury good then?
keep your luxury plastic. I would gladly pay more for better materials.
its a normally priced keyboard.. its a normally priced keyboard... ITS A NORMALLY PRICED KEYBOARD???
250$ normal priced plastic keyboard xD xD xD xD xD
Will standard Cherry Keycaps work on this? Because if they dont that really will limit them.
Best keyboard ?! LOL and 270 bucks ?!
man this is a truly ads for Realforce...

Boblo check Cooler Master Keys Pro L. It's literally the same
+Cheat Code Not quite... The Cooler Master Pro L uses Cherry MX switches. You cannot change the actuation point in Cherry switcher, however you can with Topre switches which are in this keyboard. The design and LEDs do look similar between the two keyboard though. Thanks for watching our videos!
MS Tech true but a CM is better choice because of the price point.
Eine -chan in romania almost 2..
debence how much do u use keyboard and how long will u use it for?

This Keyboard literally has nothing good about it, exept if you like topre switches. It has an all plastic body, not a braided usb cable, you're just overshadowing all of this by liking the switches but other than that its really only a mediocre keyboard especially at 270 Bucks
the diffrence in the plastic keys does the corsair k70 lux non rgb cerry mx red have the good plastic keys or the less good?

edgy bleach joke Thanks but I'll be changing my name after a month when google allows me to, I just had it recently changed 😂
No, no you were not. You do not know what irony means.
Now if you had given him a lifetip about his name "LifeTips UK", then it would have been ironic.
Jake Wynn I'm not actually a person who gives tips all the time, it was just a channel name I had in mind.
couldn't help but amazed of how fast and accurate your typing is
270 for plastic body and not even a braided cable, no thanks
Jessie Hydro well its torpe so totally worth it
I can think of other good mechanical keyboards for lots less
Jessie Hydro Torpe is much better than Cherry, and u get Thick PBT keycaps, which cost about 50$ plus u can change the actuation point
(Sry if my Eng is bad :
That's subjective,t"much better" is a matter of debate . Im sure there are those who like cherry mx's better.
Yes, topre switches tend to be more expensive but the keycaps are still double shot ABS, not PBT.
I don't want to be that guy, but Topre keyboards aren't mechanical. They're membrane :P
it uses rubber domes, but it's not membrane - electrostatic capacitive technology is what makes Topre switches different.
T yes, my mistake!
It's not membrane, but neither mechanical, it's premium rubber, with the capacitive sensors on the circuit board like a membrane.
M M Piero y are they so expensive if they baisically good membranes
you just answered your own question
I WANT TO WIN I'M FRENCH AND i HAVE A OLDER HP KEYBOARD
i love u
i know you're keyboard x)
mdr ta les vieille hp gris la x)
oui :c
Coming from a blackwidow would this be worth the upgrade? I don't like how loud my black widow is.
I suggest getting a Corsair K70 or K95 with rapidfire switches, they arent as nearly as loud as a Chroma and still give you that nice feel, with a much higher actuation point for gaming.
Topre, once you go to that switch you can never go back. Probably not this KB though, it's overpriced. People berate Type Heaven KBs for shitty reasons though. Sound on it isn't merely as good as a Realforce or HHKB but they all feel nearly the same.
Cokacolee2 which keyboard would you recommend with Topre then?
If you want a cheap Topre that has feels but not the best sound and quality, a Topre Type Heaven would be just fine. www.amazon.com/dp/B00DGJALYW/?tag=xahh-20
However, if you don't really have a money limit, pretty any HHKB Topre or Realforce Topre keyboard would be better than Type Heaven.
I'm looking for the best Topre keyboard. I love the feel of the blue switches but I hate the sound. Currently using a blackwidow and I'm having that issue.
UHHH HOW IS DIS BETR DEN KORSER WID DE COOL LOGO AND MACRO KEYS?????? im 12 btw
switches and I'm 11 lol
and you don't know what a meme is
this is a joke man, doesnt even come with a wrist rest, k95 platinum rgb ftw
You didn't need to tell us you were 12, we could tell by the normie-type way you wrote your comment.
"normie-type way" damn calm down elitist, you're not too great yourself considering you post unturned content..
I don't really like Topre switches, so I'll pass.
Plus, it's 104 key setup. Eww.
You'll pass getting a $250 keyboard? You come off as a really bitchy person.
Godin The Killer xd topre is overpriced membrane ecks dee
"You'll pass getting a $250 keyboard?"
Yea. Sorry, I don't obsess over prices, and rather over the performance of things. I just don't like Topre switches, so I'ld just be wasting my mony for something I don't like.
"You come off as a really bitchy person."
And you come off as a annoying twat but that doesn't really matter :D
I wouldn't say that, they just feel.... weird.
What's wrong with 104 key? I thought that was what was preferred?
How does this compare to iron spring or even general optical switches? I'm looking at the wooting one or zowie to make a more media key friendly optical board. I want pbt keycaps and clicky type writer feel and but also all the features like macros, media keys and fast switches. Right now I'm running the Anne pro and Logitech Orion. Wish I could feel the wooting or a topre personally to make a decision. Pbt is something I miss since I have the Anne in a desk till I'm writing research papers. My daily is the Logitech. I don't personally like the asthetic of any gaming keybaord. They plain and simple look like blatant rip offs to me. I didn't pay, I got it for free but still, I still feel the disrespect haha
And shit is stupid, the price is horrendous. Anything but Razer, logitech romer g, and cherry speeds aren't even supposed to be in the specific gaming keys....yet you still get those
How short can you set the actuation distance?
I know this was along time ago but y'all remember this. You make 100% of the shots you don't miss. Peace y'all.
Is the Razer Blackwidow Tournament Edition Mamba worth it?
Is it good?
Should I buy that or this one ?
What switches are in it? I know you said it but I don't want to scrub through the video to find that one part
recommend a typing app?
Can you review the Fuhlen SM680R?
Can these keyboard be used on IMac?
How did you Learning to type
can you please do a vid on laptop gaming/ like products for it and stuff? thanks
Hi dude, im currently using the combo devastator, but i dont like the keyboard that much, hopefully ill get that keyboard because I think its easier to use..
what is the song in the start? (in the intro)
does it run crysis?
Better than bloody?
how about the Aukey rgb mechanical keyboard? It's 70 bucks, nice rgb lighting with multiple settings but no macros, or media buttons, (fn + f5, f6 f7 and f8)
It sounds really solid, no rattling at all. Also, how on earth did you get 132 words per minute, my highest is 75 with 95% accuracy.
How do you like ducky keyboards?
I got a pretty good gaming computer a little over a year ago and have slowly gotten some accessories to go along with it such as a gaming mouse and good headphones. However, the one thing I have not been able to get is a gaming keyboard. I am unemployed and not sure how I'll pay rent this month but a gaming keyboard would be a great pick-me-up. Thanks for the awesome HQ vids!!
what is the name of this song
one of the best tech showcased channels
That led back light looks really cool!
any keyboards with aluminum key caps?
If you want full solid aluminium keycaps then you will be paying a small fortune. I think RAMA Works sells full CNC aluminium keycaps. I think it costs $36/cap

How many does it cost
"surpassing a magnetic force" .... wow, that was pretty over the top. Topre feel pretty much like a very refined high end rubber dome. (typing this on my HHKB Pro 2 btw).
From what I've seen everywhere, the keycaps on the Topre Realforce RGB are ABS doubleshot, not PBT.
is it ok when I am from German?
is it a problem for sending the keyboard?
what does rgb mean really?
Okay how do you type that fast, how many typing games do you play?!
Why don't they make the cable on keyboards detachable?
Wait this keyboard comes with doubleshot ABS. Maybe your review unit came with PBT???
This would be sweet to have, I've been using a $5.00 membrane for so long!!
Was that an Oyster Perpetual on his wrist? Or a Milgauss white dial? Am i wrong :p? The watch was distracting x-X
Is this thing on?
is it azerty or qwerty?
What a price! Good video, keep up the good work :D
I don't understand the hype about topre. The spring is only there to register the click and provides almost no resistance. It's a rubber dome over dome over pcb instead of membrane. Is it not just a rubber dome keyboard that is less mushy and lighter to press?
So how it works is that you have your normal keycap and stem. The stem goes down and presses on the rubber dome and the spring. The spring registers the key press, and the spring and the rubber dome help bounce the key back up.
And what you get is a super smooth key press, and a switch that technically should never fail, since there are no mechanical parts and nothing needs to make contact for it to register a key press.
Do you live in Pennsylvania?
Isnt it Double Shot ABS, Not PBT keycaps?
Matt, you should consider looking into reviewing other Topre boards, as from what I have heard from other keyboard enthusiasts, this isn't even close to being the best Topre board. The Realforce 87 has no LEDs, but apparently feels better.
about the cable, i got a FAKE mechanical keyboard and mouse combo and they both have braided cables. whats the difference?
That legit actually looks good!
Thanks, this helped me in choosing a new keyboard! :)
am I able to make this keyboard wireless
